Lana Del Rey - If I Die Young

(AKA “On & On & On”)

[Intro]
Am G

[Verse 1]

C G Am G
All the roses are red, and Jupiter too
C G
I’m lying in my nightgown
Am G
making confessions to you
C G Am G
It’s all over now, baby blue
C G
All my secrets are out,
Am G
I told them all to you

[Pre-Chorus]
F G
And it’s a little grim,
Am G
but I sing a hymn, only for you
F G
I seal it with a kiss
Am G
and it goes like this, baby love me too

[Chorus]

C G
If I die young
F G
let me die in California
C G
And when I’m gone,
F G
let ‘em play my favorite song
C G
It’s Jimmy Buffett to remember,
F C
life’s a beach, baby enjoy it

[Post-Chorus]

C
When I’m gone,
G F
let the music play on
C G C F
And on, and on, and on (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
C G C
Go on, and on, and on

[Verse 2]

C G
All my stories are out,
Am G
all the lies are out too
C G
When we drive in the nighttime
Am G
I lift them up to you

[Pre-Chorus]

F G
And it’s a little grim,
Am G
but I sing a hymn, only for you
F G
I seal it with a kiss
Am G
and it goes like this, baby love me too

[Chorus]

C G
If I die young
F G
let me die in California
C G
And when I’m gone,
F G
let ‘em play my favorite song
C G
It’s Jimmy Buffett to remember,
F C
life’s a beach, baby enjoy it

[Post-Chorus]

C
When I’m gone,
G F
let the music play on
C G C F
And on, and on, and on (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Go on, and on, and on

All my stories are out,

all the lies are out too

I lift them up to you

[Bridge]

Be my baby (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Be my baby tonight
C G C
We’ll go on, and on, and on

Be my baby (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Be my baby tonight

Go on, and on, and on

And it’s a little grim,
Am G
